Dead Mans Chest is part of the British Virgin Islands

In the early 1700s, The pirate Edward Teach - known as " Blackbeard " punished a mutinous crew by marooning them on Dead Man's Chest, an island 250 yards square surrounded by high cliffs and without water or landing places.

Each was given a cutiass and a bottle of rum, and Teach's hope was that they would kill each other.

But when he returned at the end of 30 days he found that 15 had survived.

It is said that this story inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Treasure Island.

You could write a song about that, but thats another cache.
